In 1820 when a group of people split off from Midway Congregational Church on land donated by Andrew Walthour. Walthour Presbyterian Church was organized from this group in 1855. The original site and cemetery is a short distance away from this church, which was built in 1884 to replace the original building which had been destroyed in a storm. This church is just barely in Long County.

Long County
This is a building behind the old house in Long County I posted a few days ago. Should date back to the early 1900's.

A Thing of the Past
This fire tower is located just outside of Ludowici in Long County. The one beside HWY 301 in Jesup recently disappeared so if I see one I'm planning on getting a picture.

Ludowici Trading Co
This is a fun place to stop and look around if you are ever in Long County. Nice people too. I think this used to be a bait shop at one time. I don't advertise for anyone but if I enjoy something I don't mind saying so.

The Ludowici Well Pavilion
The Ludowici Well Pavilion is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1905 on donated land for the placement of an artesian well to provide a pure water source to the community. An open, octagonal wood pavilion covered with Ludowici tile, was erected for the public's use and served as a town square where farmers and residents gathered to share stories, hear political candidates , and attend socials. The well flowed freely until the 1920s, when the water pressure dropped and a hand pump was installed Today it's a public park. Info from the NEW Georgia Encyclopedia
